Khafayah Abdulsalam , BACP, NCPS

Khafayah Abdulsalam is a Muslim counsellor and psychotherapist who blends professional training with spiritual sensitivity to support people navigating emotional challenge and life change. She is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a leading professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) - a recognised professional register. She is also a member of the Muslim Counsellors and Psychotherapists Network (MCAPN) and a trained Islamic counsellor, offering the option to incorporate faith-based resources such as Qur'anic reflections, du'a, and the Names of Allah when clients request that form of support.

Her practice is trauma-informed and integrative, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. She draws on person-centred methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotional regulation strategies, and reflective journaling to help clients build resilience and practical coping skills. When appropriate and desired by the client, she weaves in spiritually grounded perspectives that honour faith as a source of strength.

Khafayah works with people facing emotional overwhelm, anxiety, grief, burnout, toxic or spiritually abusive relationships, low self-worth, shame, and cultural or religious identity struggles. She creates a calm, respectful space for clients to explore painful patterns, release what no longer serves them, and rebuild their connection with themselves and with Allah. She offers remote therapy via video, phone, or messaging and takes part in regular clinical supervision to maintain practice standards in line with BACP guidance.
